wives and a Sister.in- Law. ps 4
CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-An inquest was
begun to-day on the body of Lucy Heidel-
meyer, stepdaughter of Lawrence Krug,
whom it was believed the latter had
poisoned iu order to obtain the life insur-
ance held by the deceased. 1t had been
shown that three wives Of Krug, to whom
he had been msrried within the space Of
two years. had all died somewhat mysteri-
ouSly and that all had held life insurance
policies which We're made payable to
Krug. The county physician said he had
detected no trace Of mineral or corrosive
poison. Ida Schoenstein, who is relative
of the dead girl. and attended her during
her illness. testified that she had gone to the
drug store for medicine prescribed by the
doctor. 1t was a clear, bright liquid, and
when she returned to the house with it
krug took it into the kitchen to see what
was in it, he said, and when he gave it
back to her, instead of being bright and
clear, it was cloudy. Other testimony of a
character to throw suSpician upon Krug was
given by relatives of the dead wives.
Miss Schontein testified that on Monday,
when the body of Krug's step daughter was
laid out in the front room, Krug called
witness aside in an adjoining apartment
and
ASKED HER TO MARRY HIM,
and when she refused he said, ''You must.
for | will make YOU" DR.. NJ. c. Kellner
testified that he had been called to attend
deceased on Christmas. He was told that
she was suffering from rheumatism. and he
prescribed for that malady. Next day he
made critical diagnosis and was surprised
to observe marked symptoms of lead
poisoning, and on Dec. 81 he urged that
she be taken to the hospital. At this june
ture witness was notified by Krug that his
services were no longer required DR.. John
Simpson sustained the sensation and inter-
est which the testimony was rapidly deyel-
oping. He had been called to attend the
third Mrs. Krug, and prescribed for mala-
rial fever, from which it appeared she was
suffering. The next day Krug notified him
that another physician had been engaged.
The medicine prescribed had not been given
the woman, though she was in great agony.
Witness concluded before leaving
that the cause was accidental ar
Sencal poisoning, but as the case
was i'll the hands of the family physician.
thoroughly competent gentleman, there
was no apparent cause for interference.
The inquest was here adjourned until Mon
day. During the inquest Krug had been
quietly taken into custody and officers DIS
patched to his residence where all articles
of a suspicious nature We're levied upon.
The remains of the dead girl will be re-
moved from the vault at st. Boniface cen-
etery and subjected to a thorough scientific
examination. krug'S appearance on the
stand at the outset of the examination
created rather favorable impression. eX-
cept for the fact that he was excessively
nervous.

Rivalry to the Grave.

The Knoxville Tribune recently
published this obituary puff:
A few moments before The old
gentleman hrpathed his last he
called his family around him and
made a few brief remarks as TO
their future course; among other
things he laid particular stress
upon the worth of the Tribune ;
spoke of it's truthtulness and gener-
nj make up; how il chrered him on
his diving bed, aud charged them
with seeing that the only reliable
newspaper III this section OF the
State be read in their families. He
then turned his face to 1.-THE wall ana
died.
The Knoxville Sentinel adds these
remarks as a tribute to the depart
ed reader OF the boiler plate Tribune:
No wonder he died, although
such deaths are rare in the history
of The world. The Bible mentions
a gentleman named Annanias, who
died in a similar manner, but TINS
old man far excels TIE ancient
Annanias or the modern Eli Per
kins in the severity OF the constltu-
tioual disease which caused his
death, and it is simply frishtful to
contemplate tbe infuite punishment
to which the poor benighted soul OF
that old man has gone.

in the ar, ten feet ovehead, burst

roar, the din, everything save the
shouts and groans. 1t was II venta.

After Il time the noise died away,
